Details:
Comet C/2024 G3 continues to climb out of the bright twilight. I was joined by local astronomers John Honore and Stefan Krivan, before my neighbours came over right on queue. Tonight, we had the advantage of two late primary school age girls whose young eyes picked out the comet before the adults gathered at my place! The head and tail were both distinct to the naked eye by 9.30 p.m., and once again the comet was great in binoculars and small scopes. The golden colour of the tail was brilliant enough to standout against the orange twilight. Tomorrow night (Jan 19th) the comet will be at the top of the picture, above the star 24 Capricorni, at the same time.
